Abstract Educators agree that a student can display gifted behavior and learning disabilities (GLD) simultaneously. Some of these students thrive when exploring advanced level investigative projects which require higher order thinking skills (HOTS) and creation of an original product. This article presents a GLD case story as an example of successful intervention utilizing an instructional strategy, Talents and Type III’s (in press), which merges the (HOTS) Talents Unlimited Model (Productive Thinking, Decision Making, Planning, Forecasting, and Communication; Schlichter, 1986) with investigative research strategies (Type III’s; Renzulli and Reis, 1986).
